Hello FisherAu,

You may want to try the revolve tool, if I understand your picture correctly.

Hi CJ

Thanks for your reply.

No,we need the flat surface to have this effect.

Thanks

Hello Fisher,

I’m guessing, which isn’t good. But is it something like this?  
What is your “disk”?

Are you really asking how to make a basic circle shape, or one with raised centre like Cjacob posted?

Basic circle here.

Hello Fisher,

I was guessing it was some type of record/LP?

Here’s the drawing sample. You could change the “grooves” to get different results.

Ha, I thought Fisher was trying to draw a foil tape dot on the backing like this if you zoomed out 😄 (super vague question)

Hello H\_Daniel,

Nice!

Hello Fisher,  
Thanks for the picture, now I have a better understanding.  
Possibly RMS 32 surface finish?

@FisherAu

I’d really love the option to export high resolution images too, but we’re stuck with screen resolution at the moment 😟
